I havent seen an S6 come in yet with the comfort seats but we have them arriving soon. Ill give feedback when one of them comes in.
The regular A6 is a great car. Unfortunately, I hate the standard seats in the premium and premium plus model. The added thigh support in the prestige model really changes the comfort level. I dont even care about the ventilation but the different seat design is a must. The S6 seats are just on a totally different level of comfort. Regarding the ride, the S6 suspension takes over where the A6 leaves off. Its definitely an "S" model the moment you turn the steering wheel into a corner. While its not entirely flat, it attacks corners with abandon. Anyone that says this car is too soft in the handling is apparently coming from a smaller car or something designed as a sports car. This is a large sedan that is not hiding what it is. It is a sleeper car though for all intense and purposes.
Thats an excellent question. In my S4 I had the lowered springs and the Alu Kreuz so it was just like a go-cart. Its not really fair to compare. That being said, stock for stock I would actually say the steering feel is quite similar. The one thing that I will say is the turn in is quicker on the S6 as the ratio seems to be shorter. Turning the steering wheel just a little bit makes the front dive in that direction. I wont say that it has more feel because it doesn't. But it has enough that I made an evasive maneuver already today and the car just went where I needed it to with minimal input.
